Package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.2.9 ' was restored using .NetFramework, Version=v4.6.1, instead of the project target framework

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core 6.0 MVC project. I'm trying to add this dll Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.2.9 but I'm getting this below error. Please refer to this screenshot:

enter image description here

We are migrating from ASP.NET MVC 5 to ASP.NET Core 6.0 in Visual Studio 2022 (version 17.4.2)

I'm expecting System.Web.Mvc should be added to my project.

Thanks Regards Krishna

You can generate some dummy ASP.NET MVC Core 6 project with VS2022, and take from its.csproj file, dependencies on MVC NuGet packages. That way you are sure it has correct boilerplate code.
